Quote of the Day

“If not exactly humbled by the show’s critical drubbing and lackluster sales, [Criss] Angel, now the butt of jokes by most other Strip comics and magicians, seems less hubristic than he did a year ago. There’s less swagger and no chest-baring (Angel appears to have put on a few pounds). He looks like what he is — a cape-wearing Long Island schlub with a tragic Jennifer Aniston haircut.” — Las Vegas Sun theatre critic Joe Brown, reviewing an apparently un-“fixated” Believe, the Cirque du Soleil vanity project that, against all odds, is limping into its second year at Luxor.
